Ok, here is my first impression
Good things:
I pretty much like the idea of creating a modular system, that allows us to choose which contents belong to our membership. I think it’s was also a good and fair decision, that the summit pass is not included anymore. Because most of us aren’t able to make it to a summit anyway. Thanks to the LPU staff for reading our conversations at the forum etc. and take it seriously
And I love the new LPU website and it’s design. It’s way easier to handle. And I’m happy, that we have a mobile version of the LPU site, so it’s better to handle with my iPhone. Love that!!!
Bad things:
But beside of that nice things, I won’t to keep secret what I dislike.
First of all: Despite the LPU member shirts are important to me, I didn’t purchased one this year. It looks to me like a sport shirt, made for kids who play soccer or something. Nothing very special. Sorry to say that. Btw: a big compliment to Van Nguyen’s shirt design. If the LPU shirt would look so nicely and special I had bought it right away!
Second thing is this: As the summit passes are not included anymore, the membership should be reduced or at least stay on the same level as last year. But instead, the shipping isn’t free anymore, what cost me 13$ extra, plus the CD is 10$ instead of 1$. And therefore the membership become more expensive instead of less. Im sure there are special reasons for that. But… yeah, that belongs to the alterations I don’t like
